About Mary
Mary Ann Godefroy is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps adults manage stress, anxiety, addiction, and major life changes. She focuses on practical steps people can use right away and on building skills for longer term coping. Sessions are warm and direct, with attention to each person’s particular situation.
She blends several approaches to match a person’s needs. Cognitive behavioral methods help identify troubling thoughts and shift unhelpful patterns.
Background and approach
Attachment-based ideas look at how early relationships shape current reactions and connections. Mindfulness practices teach simple ways to stay grounded in the moment. Her work also addresses relationship struggles, grief, trauma and abuse, career concerns, self-esteem, and compassion fatigue.
She supports people navigating bipolar disorder, ADHD, and substance misuse by combining behavioral tools with motivational strategies. The goal is clearer thinking, steadier emotion, and stronger everyday functioning. Mary Ann has 14 years of clinical experience in California and works with adults seeking one-on-one care.
She uses straightforward conversations and evidence-informed techniques to set realistic goals. Progress is tracked in sessions and adjusted as needs change. People who prefer collaborative, skills-based therapy often find this style helpful.
Her approach aims to help clients feel more capable when facing stressors and life transitions. Work is paced to the individual and focuses on usable skills and insight.
How her approaches inform online care
Mary Ann often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change daily habits that worsen anxiety or depression. CBT sessions focus on practical exercises and homework that can be reviewed over video or text. Attachment-based work explores patterns in relationships and how they affect current emotions, helping people build healthier ways of relating and responding.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video works well for longer therapy sessions and exercises that use facial cues. Phone sessions can fit into a work break or be easier when bandwidth is low. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, tracking homework, or getting steady support between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting it into a busy life.
